A lovely unit, well stocked and private. It was wonderful to be able to bring our dog (we scrubbed her paws more than we do at home!) She was so excited to see the rabbits on the trails, and the deer that walked past our back door! Would definitely stay here again.

Excellent spot. The space was very cozy, clean, and tastefully decorated. There wasn't anything to hope for! Proximity to the beach is less than a 5 min walk. I would definitely book here again if retuning to the area.

The property has everything for relaxing all year long. It’s in great condition and well kept. Alexis answers questions quickly and is available if you have a problem. We’ve stayed in several of the units at Tanglewood, and they have all been good. I’ll rent from Alexis again.

5 starsWe really enjoyed our stay at the Hideaway! The space was comfortable and had everything we needed for both day-to-day living and beach outings. The outdoor area was a real highlight; peaceful and private, with a BBQ and a lovely view of the forest. We even spotted deer and bunnies right outside, which made it feel extra special. Would definitely stay again!

This is the 3rd year we have stayed here and love it each and every time. The World Series was on and the hosts ensured we had what we needed to watch the final 2 games. The kitchen is great to cook in and is very well stocked. The BBQ works wonderfully. The beds are very comfy. And the fireplace is a dream on those cooler days. I look forward to our future stays.
